***** LILY *****The mention of love was enough to change Jace’s mood in two seconds flat. If I saw him having fun and wanted to spoil his mood, I would say the words love, and a switch would be flipped in his head. We’ve been forty minutes in, and he hadn’t said a word since. Just watched as I loosened buttons on Taser’s shirt (just enough that they would fall off after a few minutes of wear.) and the seams of his pants. Bleach went on the ones I couldn’t waste time on. Other than the broody man behind me, this was fun. Therapeutic even. I doubt Jace would agree. His idea of therapy was a bj from a therapist. I shouldn’t be thinking about that. “This is the last shirt.” I announced as I folded it and put it back in his drawer. “Is that all? We can leave?” “No, it’s not all.” I demurred, “I’d like to mess with his toiletries. Maybe a little shaving cream in his hair products.” Jace winced, “that’s brutal. I have to draw the line there.”I considered it. Was that really bad?Nahh

***** JACE *****“That went better than I expected.” Amy said beside me as we strolled back to my office. That felt like the longest four hours ever in the boardroom but it had ended on the good note for me. While most of the board and the other workers backed Creed's refusal of my ideas, Stevenson had stood up for me. He was one of the men I needed to impress and it seemed I was achieving that. That was progress. It was little, but progress still. “I was going through your emails sir and found one from your mother. She says it’s urgent.”“She thinks everything is important.”“This one’s different.” Amy insisted. “You may want to take a look yourself.” I eyed my assistant suspiciously but conceded. After helping myself to glass of bourbon, I opened her mail.And proceeded to spit my drink outSperm cryopreservation. The email included recommended companies and articles concerning the subject matter. Below she had penned a personal note to me. Reminding me in very lengthy terms tha

***** LILY *****My sister’s house is loud. I don’t know how it manages to stay this way with only two kids capable of speech, but when we walk in, Heidi’s screaming at Maxwell to keep his hands off her pencils if he’s going to chew them.A conversation Maxwell was clearly enjoying since he was imitating her tone without actual words. “Madhouse.” Jace muttered, pocketing his phone as he approached the pair. He’d been on the device since he was at my apartment. Only dropping it to drive. “Lilman. Why are we eating lead?”“Uncle J! I got new hot wheels” He yelled excitedly while I went to the TV to turn it off. There, a little peace for my brain.“While he’s up in the air with you, could you keep him on the top shelf? At least till I find the rest of my pencils that he stole.” Heidi fumed.“Heidi, no evil plots against your brother.” I chided, even as I crushed her in a hug. “He just makes me so mad.” Her words were muffled by my cardigan. I patted her head affectionately. As much as

***** JACE *****I checked my phone for the umpteeth time. If Gianna’s purpose was to stress me out, she definitely achieved it. For all the bugging I did, she insisted we meet in person. And when I pointed out that it looked like she just wanted to get me in bed, her response was “maybe.”What was I supposed to make of things, was this some new game?Angie showed up outside the door cradling Ianni in her arm. “Maxwell. Time for your bath.” “I’m taking this one.” He grabbed the new hotwheel he had been talking nonstop about, then another, “This one too.”Angie handed Ian to me without question, then went to mix Maxwell. I sat on the floor cradling the baby as they bustled around the room till I had enough. “Let’s see what everyone is doing.” I told Ian. The boy looked like his mum, every feature of his face from the blonde wisps of hair to the curve of his small mouth, everything save for his eyes. And how silent he was. That screamed Pierce. “You’re going to be just like your da

**** JACE *****I was a busy man. The several files decorating my table and bottomless unopened emails was proof of that, and yet, I found the time to check my messages again. Three days since we had dinner at her sister’s and still nothing from Lily. No plot to take down her ex boyfriend, or a cheeky message directed to her “snookums”. Radio silence. I loosened my tie and refreshed our messages again. My last text to her had been about our company’s moral outing and there was still not a word from her, so I wasn’t worrying for nothing. Or was I just getting the silent treatment. “Mr Whitmore,” Amy’s voice came through the intercom. “Just confirming if you’ll be available for your two o’clock meeting.”I glanced at the watch on my wrist. That was in thirty minutes. There were several things I could fit into that time, then have the meeting and attend to other things I’d planned for the day.“Mr. Whitmore?”Don’t even think about it, it’s a bad idea…“Jace?”I grabbed my jacket off

***** LILY *****Colds were a good reminder of how awesome it was to be able to breathe properly. Recovering from one, meant enjoying all the smells around you. None should be taken for granted.So it was with great pleasure that I took my first unobstructed inhale while awake, expecting the smell of flowers or peppermint from that diffuser I bought two weeks ago. Instead, I got a whiff of perfume.Not mine. I nudged closer to figure out the mystery provided by the nose Gods, feeling a bout of sleepy victory when I identified whose it was.Jace.Wait, Jace? My eyes flew open, fighting sleepiness as I realized that my pillow hadn’t turned into a solid male body at night, I was lying next to one. Currently clinging to him, like I was afraid he would slip away.Shit how do I fix this? He wouldn't notice if I rolled off, would he?I tested my theory by shifting just a smidget and felt him stiffen under me. “Lily.” He groaned, and boy did the sound do wonders to my sex deprived brain. I

***** JACE *****Horrible idea. I declared it from the first day, and I was fucking right. I slid into my car, pulled up Gianna’s name and dialed. If she was too busy, then I would find someone else. Maybe not Daisy- definitely not her, but someone just as discreet as Gianna would be. It didn’t matter what body I was burying myself in, it just had to be done, because clearly, my lack of sex was affecting me badly.Fuck, I could not get the image of her, staring at me so hungrily, like she wanted to take a bite out of me. There was particular pleasure to be found when women took the reins. Some were shy and didn’t know what to do, or overwhelmed with the prospect. Others touched to please…Lily touched me for her own pleasure.It felt good to watch her be selfish. It should feel horrible, I corrected the thought. It was abysmal.“Hello, stranger.” Gianna’s sultry voice came from the speakers. I loosened my grip on the steering wheel.“Gigi.” Simple enough words. I doubt I could mana

***** JACE *****Gianna moaned, and wriggled her ass at me unaware that my dick was back in my pants. “You’ve been so good. You deserve a reward don’t you?” She nodded, a whimper escaping her when I pressed my palm into her pussy. “Take it then.”She ground into my fingers getting herself off on that, and the noncommittal encouragement I provided till her body shook with her orgasm. I kissed her shoulder softly; the only thanks, and apology for leaving so abruptly, before I snagged a tissue on the entry table, wiped my fingers off with it, tossed it in the trash and left in more of a rut than when I showed up.I could not even bring myself to ask about the talk she had been hinting at us having. I fled her house like a man being hunted. And maybe I was. Haunted and taunted by Lily’s know it all smirk.I had told her to find someone to turn her interest on. I should hope that she did. It meant we could bury this topic like it never existed. I brushed my hand over my face, hating the

***** LILY *****I managed to get hit twice before Jace grabbed me by the waist and hauled me back to our hiding spot.“Now why the fuck would you do that?” He hissed.“I didn’t say I was going to make your job easier.”He said a few curse words and peeked his head over the block to scout for others. “Fine. You want to be that way?” He hooked his finger under my vest and pulled me closer. My heart jerked like it was on a string. “New deal, you do exactly as I say, when I say it, or I’m going to fuck up your next revenge ploy against your ex. I tutted, “Fine.” Whatever. The entire game was fifteen minutes. I could definitely get hit five times without even trying. Then…I would get my reward. A tingle sizzled down my spine. “onward soldier.”“No more running.”“You have my word.” “You stay glued to my side.”“No better place to be, pretty boy.” He let out an unintelligible sound, raised his gun up and started to walk. “Other than my family, what other red string is there?” He glan

***** LILY *****Jace glanced above my head. Like he was waiting to be saved by a mystery problem. The alarms went off signaling the end of the game. I didn’t really care about my points on the score board, I was about to score right now. If only he’d bloody look at me. “You gave me your word.” I reminded him.“I did.” He concurred, “tricky little minx.” He braced his hand on the block behind me, and pulled my fingers from underneath his vest. “We didn’t say anything about touching.”“We didn’t say anything about not touching.” I argued back, holding his shirt tighter. “If you want this kiss, you will do exactly what I tell you.” His tone had taken a slight deep, not exactly bossy, but also not leaving room for refusal. Shit. When were they going to turn the lights on so I could see his face. “Lily.”My hands dropped to my sides, but I inched forward a little. Jace had a little smirk on his face before his head descended. My hands itched to come up, to cling tightly to the hair a
